One of the topics discussed at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was cryptocurrencies. While many issues were discussed, from regulations to how technology should be used, ideas were also raised about how the digital world should be.
Omar Sultan Al Olama, the minister of state responsible for artificial intelligence technology in the United Arab Emirates, which is known for its positive steps on cryptocurrencies recently, said that regulations should come on the metaverse and “social behavior” there. Al Olama said that some malicious behaviors that are not currently possible in real life can be revealed in the metaverse and that they should be prevented.
“There should be international safety standards”
The minister’s argument on this issue was that the reflection of certain psychological problems that may be experienced in the metaverse would begin to be seen in real life after a while. The UAE minister said that international security standards on “Metaverses” should be determined and applied regardless of the region where the user lives:
“These standards are currently being implemented for the internet. It can also be applied to the metaverse. Illegal activities there must be controlled by an authorized higher body. Here, the International Telecommunication Union established by the United Nations can be activated”
Support from the meta manager: There may be a point system
Chris Cox, the product manager of Facebook, which changed its name to Meta, said that he agreed with Al Olama’s views and that international metaverse laws should be established and said, “Control can be achieved with two separate scoring systems to be created for adults and children.”
